ABSTRACT:
A hand-held, self-contained support plate for carrying or serving foods and beverages and for carrying accessories such as utensils, toothpicks, and napkins is disclosed. The plate includes a planar support surface into which are recessed a main compartment and side compartment for receiving foods, a sauce compartment for receiving sauces, condiments, and the like, and a beverage compartment having a raised peripheral edge for increasing support for the beverage container. The plate includes an aperture through which the user inserts a thumb to grip the plate, the aperture being placed so as to enable the user to avoid harmful contact with hot or cold materials supported by the plate and to allow a knuckle of the index finger of the hand to support the beverage container compartment and promote stability of the plate. The plate further includes holes into which toothpicks may be inserted to be held until used and a slot in the peripheral edge of the planar support surface into which napkins may be removably placed. The plate also includes a slot vertically disposed in the plate into which utensils may be inserted to be held until required for use.
